Your watch should automatically connect to the same Wi-Fi networks as your phone because Android Wear tries to share your phone’s Wi-Fi passwords to your watch when you first set up cloud sync.

There is a chance that some of your Wi-Fi passwords did not sync to your watch. Here’s how to check:

Take your watch to an area with a Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect.

Swipe down from the top of the screen.

Swipe from right to left until you see Settings, then tap it.

Touch Wi-Fi settings.

Your watch should scan for networks, show a list of found networks, and automatically connect to a known network if one is found.

If the network does not need a password or the password is already saved, your watch should connect immediately. If the network needs a password, you will see a prompt to enter the password on your phone. Tap “Open on phone,” and enter the Wi-Fi password in the Android Wear app.

To stay connected to your watch, your phone must also be connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile data network.

On your phone, try going to a website like news.google.com to see if you have a connection. If you cannot load the website, make sure airplane mode is off, Wi-Fi is turned on, and you have a mobile data connection.

Check your Wi-Fi connection:

If you have all the things listed above, check to see if Wi-Fi is working.

Take your watch to an area with a Wi-Fi network that you want your watch to connect to.

Move your watch at least 40 feet away from your phone, which is out of Bluetooth range.

Your watch should connect to the Wi-Fi network in a few seconds. Swipe down from the top of the watch face and you should see a Wi-Fi icon .
